The new `loaddefs-gen.el` does offer something for that, yes, but that's
only for Emacs≥29, so until Org support older Emacsen you'd have to
pregenerate that "internal autoloads" file "by hand" (and even keep it
in the Git until `elpa.gnu.org` upgrades to a version of Debian that has
Emacs-29, i.e. presumably Debian 13 aka Trixie around 2025).
